I used to get them at the Mr. G's (53rd Street Co-Op) in HP. But I guess some other store is there now?<br /><br />Here is a good explanation/description with pictures: http://www.recipetips.com/glossary-term/t--33997/ham-hock.asp<br /><br />Melanie: 1. About the whole peas... that's a good question. Are they dried? Or are you talking about fresh peas? 2. See the link above. But I think any cut would do so long as it has a bone in it. That's what gives the soup its flavor. Ham hocks don't yield that much meat which is why I add the extra cooked ham. 3. I didn't have marjoram until recently. I used thyme before and it turned out good, too.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12783686690755636898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767521845211808309.post-2484308019651216672009-04-14T17:05:00.000-07:002009-04-14T17:05:00.000-07:00Jeannie (or anyone else) a few questions:

I also haven't heard of pork hock...do you think any cut of pork would work ok? I'm not sure if I could even find pork hock. <br />3. Do you know of a good sub. for marjoram? that's another spice I'm not sure I could find here.<br /><br />Thanks! This sounds yummy so I'm hoping I can make it!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206606710205211906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767521845211808309.post-1133508638521651272009-04-14T13:36:00.000-07:002009-04-14T13:36:00.000-07:00Are smoked pork hocks a common item you can find a...Are smoked pork hocks a common item you can find at any grocery store?

He doesn't taste it in here and after it's pureed you can't even tell it's there at all.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12783686690755636898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767521845211808309.post-56064022252137028342009-04-13T10:22:00.000-07:002009-04-13T10:22:00.000-07:00Any recommendations for celery substitutes?

I could just leave it out but I'd rather substitute for a different vegetable.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336064279559979106noreply@blogger.com
